About Us

The most trusted advisors in the industry

Beaumont Nathan are a leading international art advisory and market intelligence firm based in London. We offer commercial advice to an exclusive roster of buyers and sellers of high-end fine art and professional guidance in the large, unregulated, and often opaque art marketplace.

We specialize in both short and long-term strategic advice to buyers and sellers, alongside curatorial advice, collection management, industry intelligence and market analysis.

We advise across the full spectrum of the international art market, from Old Masters to Contemporary. We incorporate our specialist experience and extensive network of collectors, experts and museums worldwide, with an innovative client-focussed approach in order to provide world class, independent advice.

Protecting our clients interests with an innovative approach

Beaumont Nathan’s mission is to become the most trusted global advisory business in the art industry. We aim to achieve this by providing the most in-depth analysis in all of our work, as well as aligning our interests entirely with those of our clients via our highly competitive and transparent fixed-fee structure. We also only ever act for one side of a deal and never take a financial interest in a work of art.

All of our advice is accompanied by an extensive due diligence and research process, and includes both art critical and market analysis. We are then able to come to an impartial, expert view as to whether to buy or sell a particular piece of art, as well as at what price.

Discreetly serving our clients, from private individuals to major institutions

Beaumont Nathan works with an exclusive roster of clients, ranging from private individuals and family offices to professional advisors, art investors, museums, institutions and corporate collections.

We pride ourselves on an exceptional end-to-end service designed to remove the administrative and logistical burden from our clients wherever possible. We also conduct all of our research, negotiations and enquiries anonymously in order to maintain our clients’ confidentiality and discretion.
